  • The AppResponse Xpert appliance was able to identify a large back-up running during normal work hours at a St. Louis plant and enabled the team to resolve the issue very quickly
  • Without the solution, it might have taken the team days to determine the cause of the problem using “old-fashioned” tools and techniques.
